Alex Schaefer illustrated how he teaches value starting with an appropriate light color for the base of the buildings and making references to it using his self -constructed value scale right below the painting. You can see the dabs of color he places on the value scale as he proceeds.

Alex Schaefer returned to RSF for the RSF Art Guild to demonstrate his approach to landscape painting on Nov. 10 at the RSF Senior Center. Schaefer did two paintings. The first was a plein air demonstration of two of the buildings at the Senior Center. The second was a portrait. Schaefer has taught at the Art Center College of Design in LA and currently has a video series, Paint with Alex, available on youtube. This event was supported by a grant from the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation.
